  installed to the wrong location. You will notice an issue if
  you receive the following NullPointerException error in the
  log and FFDC file when you try to try to deploy the process
  application to the unit test environ-ment:
  
  Exception:java.lang.NullPointerException
  SourceId:com.ibm.ws.wbia.deployment.WBIAAbstractTask.existsSIBus
  ProbeId:661
  Reporter:com.ibm.ws.wbia.deployment.WBIAInstallTask@402fc6d0

       at com.ibm.ws.wbia.deployment.WBIAAbstractTask.deploy(
  WBIAAbstractTask.java :486)
  
  If you are not deploying the process application to the unit
  test environment and have a network deployment configuration
  that has multiple deployment environments, you might notice
  that the process application that you installed is not where
  you expect it to be. The process application might be
  installed on the wrong cluster.
